Traditional Portuguese Festivities on Stamps

I am not sure if these stamps fit exactly in Sunday Stamps-II theme for today: Organizations, Special Events. But I really was expecting an opportunity to post them.

They belong to different series under the theme Traditional Festivities, issued on February 21, 2011,  July 20, 2012 and on 30 April, 2013. I would like to receive the complete series, as they are so colourful and festive.
Update
I have just remembered that I sent this one to Heleen two years ago:

Update 2
I have just got another one from this series.

    I love to send correspondence with those stamps... They're so colorful and cute - everyone I've sent mail to with those stamps just simply love them. This is one of my favorite portuguese stamps' design ever!

      Acho que todos esses selos (exceto o último, é claro!) é tu quem os têm enviados. Eu adorei as cores e a alegria que transmitem.

    That's a really great series of stamps. I especially like the three men in black hats on the second stamp because it reminds me of a very old TV ad for flour. Totally irrelevant, I know. :)

      They make me think of a 1970s kids tv program, Mr Benn http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-dszN_mSWQ
